⬢ CURATED RECORD

Rodia is a swamp-and-jungle world in the Tyrius system, homeworld of the green-skinned Rodians, whose hunter culture - born of stalking the planet's lethal megafauna - made them the galaxy's most recognizable bounty hunters. Its cities rise on stilts and domes over the wetlands.

During the Clone Wars, Senator Onaconda Farr - Padme Amidala's 'Uncle Ono' - briefly sold his loyalty to the Trade Federation for famine relief, then redeemed himself; his later assassination by a colleague shook the Senate. And one Rodian hunter named Greedo cornered the wrong smuggler in a Mos Eisley cantina.

First appearance: Homeworld of Greedo (A New Hope, 1977); seen in The Clone Wars

  • Greedo's death at Han Solo's table needs no elaboration
  • Rodian clans once hunted each other until the Grand Protector redirected the custom outward
